Wild ideas sometimes turn into reality. That's what for my friend. Monica was 64, and I wanted to hike the Grand Canyon for her 65th birthday. This would be her second out-and-back hike into the canyon — the first time was in her 30s with her husband. She started casting the vision, and one by one, three women said yes.
